Sterling Innovations Titanic

Just picked this kit up at a local Good will thrift store for $3.99.Basic model and not very accurate but shiukd make for a nice decorative model.

It looks like the model originally available at Barnes and Noble a few years back. If so choose your adhesive carefully. Elmer's will not be very effective as the paper stock is very glossy. I switched to Aileen's in my attempt to build it. It may require either a contact cement or a super glue.
In any event good luck with the build.

I find a clear contact glue, such as UHU, works very well on glossy surfaces. You have to be patient, though.

Guess what guys,I got an unpleasant surprise!Turns out it is missing the main spine side A which is probably why it was at Goodwill in the first place.I will try to make a replacement .
